Has the train left the tracks?
It seems that they lost our attention.

I had to turn of Aaron Brown. It's all so boring and irrelevant. WHo cares what they have to say - can it possibly be something we haven't heard before.

I think they are scared. They know that we know the election was stolen and they aren't sure what to do now. Kind of like a dog who chases cars, well, the car stopped - now what?

All this radical crap that noone really wants. What are they going to do with it? Christian whatever - it all bears no resembelence to Christ or anything gnostic or prophetical.

I just have a weird feeling that none of this is really real. It doesn't seem real. Are we going to go through the motions for 4 years to pretend we'll have a chance in 2008? What for?

The problem they have with this pseudo manufactured mandate is that noone wants the radical agenda that goes along with it. So tryas they might, they won the battle, but they are losing the cultural war bigtime.

2. why aren't our leaders BRANDING them as RADICALS?
conservatives HATE radicals.

that's a good question... i think our side is overly risk adverse or they are too caught up in the CARTOON world view :shrug:

3. Yeah, they are scared, BUT
they also can rely on the decades-old issue that democrats can't organize -- try as we might.

If we really banded together -- under one cohesive tent -- with ONE goal in mind (much like what they have done successfully), their worst nightmare would be realized. But that won't happen, not without a miracle. One cohesive tent flies in the face of everything being 'liberal' is all about, because we are all about diversity. We are the barrier to our own success. That sucks, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Cultural war indeed. They lost it. It's a matter of time before they implode. But that will be after my lifetime, I fear.

4. I turned off cable news right after * proclaimed his victory
And I haven't turned them on since. I agree with you completely, Must_B_Free. They're totally irrelevant now. I know that what they are saying is pure propaganda. They are simply spouting what the White House wants us to hear. Why should I listen to that?

I believe they will overreach and overreach badly. I was fascinated to see that Rove actually appeared on Meet the Press! And then, Monday morning, I woke up to find Grover Norquist on Washington Journal. When the people behind the curtains begin to emerge publicly, you know they are overconfident. They will overreach.

My sister had a good idea to expedite that issue: we should write the networks and tell them we'd like to see MORE of Norquist, Rove, James Dobson, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Gary Bauer, and the whole right wing stable of Christian Taliban.

5. Let's get to it
I'm ready for full blown fascism so we can just collapse and get it over with. Why waste my life slipping into it- lets hurry up and get beyond it.
